Top Three Profile Scores

A1. Describe two specific dimensions from your personality profile results that you consider to be strengths.

In order for me to complete this career assessment paper, I initially took an Interest Inventory survey. Upon completing this process, it revealed that my personality profile score was (I, C, A). These three letters represented my strengths and interests in determining which career field would best suit me.

The results from assessment weren’t surprising to me, as I ranked very high in conventional, Enterprising and Social categories. There were several careers listed in the job zone that appealed to me such as Human Resources Specialist, A Meeting, Convention and Event Planner, Compensation and Benefits Manager and Social &Human Service Assistant. All of these careers stem from organization and analytical thinking characteristics and follow guidelines

With the variety of majors and interests college offers, the decision of choosing a career holds a heavy weight. There are many paths one can go to have a successful, fulfilling job for the rest of their lives; this is where college can explore a person’s likes and dislikes. From taking taking the self-assessment, it resulted careers that revolve around medical and/or as educators to help others. These choices seemed very very accurate and possible that I want to pursue. I have always been passionate of caring for others in some source. The four careers that I decided to further research are: occupational therapist, social and human service assistant, pharmacist, and veterinarian.

Focus 2 Assessments: After taking the assessments, I realized that I still have some career planning to do. Also, I do very well in english, business, and foreign language classes. My work interest resulted in “enterprising” meaning I often use my skills to influence others. My values are helping others, income, and prestige. My personality type is attracted to occupations where I can combine my abilities to make careful

The last category scored a little lower. In the enterprising category, I scored a 58.333. The individuals who relate to enterprising are “the persuaders”. People within this category like to lead. They enjoy activities that are competitive and require selling and promoting. Additionally, these individuals are self-confident and talkative both of these characteristics reflect my personality. There are definitely some consistencies within these three categories.

The section I scored most in was kinesthetic intelligence and I was not surprised. People who got this can learn the best through hands on experiments and are always physically active. These people also have trouble sitting still and may become distracted easily. A few careers that are in this category are, athlete, physical education, and a physical therapist. I strongly agree with why I got kinesthetic as my highest scored. I am always physically active and I love to learn things if I can see it and touch it. I do tend to get distracted easily if I am just sitting and doing nothing. Being an athlete has always been my dream job so I agree with the careers that it gave me. A physical therapist has also been a career that I have been interested

The personality traits that are useful in this career are enjoying managing or leading people, being business oriented, being able to adapt easily, being dependable, having integrity, and paying attention to detail. My own personality does match up with these traits well. When I took the personality quiz on mynextmove.org, my highest score was in the social skills area. This didn’t surprise me at all because I do enjoy being around other people and listening to others. I think this skill is useful as a medical office manager because I will work with and around people all day every day. I must be able to adapt to the differences and qualities each person brings to the job. The one area that I feel I could use more work in is the leadership aspect. I have never felt like much of a leader, I took well to the guidance of others, but the older I get the more confident and controlled I feel. Also, with the knowledge I will gain at

Some of them I felt were truly accurate, and some of the others showed me characteristics of myself I’ve never realized that I am, like a very defiant individual because on two out of the three we took it seemed I couldn’t really be put into a certain category. The Myers-Briggs test was the only one exception because it had you definitely put into one, single group. My result was that I had the Advocate personality, in the Diplomatic arena. It said I was, “a very rare category, making up less than one percent of the population, but that they nonetheless leave their mark on the world. As members of the Diplomat Role group, Advocates have an inborn sense of idealism and morality, but what sets them apart is that they are not idle dreamers, but people capable of taking concrete steps to realize their goals and make a lasting, positive impact. And though soft-spoken, they have very strong opinions and will fight tirelessly for an idea they believe in.” Which I believe is pretty spot on for me, though I would have never been able to come up with that description of

The My Plan (2016) assessments is a program that examines your career interest. This is determined by taking several assessments on your personality, interests, skills, and values. Based on my personality report, it indicated my personality type is ESTJ ( extroverted, sensor, thinker and judger). Some words used to describe me based on my personality report are social, patient, thoughtful and in control. On the My Plan (2016) my personal interest top two were investigative and social. My Plan (2016) concluded that I would work well with others and like communicating with others. Ultimately, I would agree that these results are correct and correlate well with the career I am going to pursue as a dental hygienist. Prior to taking the My Plan (2016) assessments I was undecided about wether I wanted to pursue my career as a dental hygienist or a registered nurse. Now I am confident about what I choose to do, because it is something that I have always been interested about and it is something I would actually enjoy doing.

Overall, I know that I have my mind set on pursuing the Care, Health and society major because there are a lot of different type of work I can do with many different focusses. I also took into consideration that jobs in the heath care system will never vanish because as long as there are humans living we will consistently need these occupations to take care of them. Plus, the medium range for this major is decent, I mean you cant become rich but its defiantly livable and money isn’t my only motive so I’m willing to settle for something less if its something I love doing. I would eventually love moving up the ranks and become a lead director within something related to projects for public outreach and be in charge and manage data base and personal within the company I will be working with.

I somewhat agree with the result because when it say that I am not outgoing is when I start to disagree with it because I think that I am an outgoing person. The rest of the results I do agree with though because I want to become a social worker and that was one of the careers suggested. The temperament that I fall into is Guardian. I see myself following the rules and obeying rules all the time because sometimes my mom will do something and I will be like you are not allowed to do that it say right here that you can not do it. I agree when it says that they hate being unorganized because I do hate that but I am hardly ever

I agree, I don’t believe the two test show who I am either, but there are some traits that I can agree with as an individual reviewing my results of the tests. I think that the Big Five test pointed out some of my traits, my results states that I’m referred to as the OCEAN model of personality. I’m on the traditional side of doing things, sometime I’ll experience different structure that makes better sense or way of doing things, I’m organized at home but very disorganized at work, but it’s okay with me I can work better, I’m not big on crowds, I have some extrovert/introvert characteristics, I love talking to people I don’t meet strangers, but at the same time I like being along 75% of the time. I’m naturally a good natured person, love giving support to those that’s hard on themselves whether it’s work or life living situations. Last is neuroticism, I cope well in life everyone get down or depressed from a situation whether it’s divorce, college, children or life style. I think the test should be given by an employer not that it tells them if that employee will work out in their company, but as you mention it will provide a

My goal is to have a career in health care management. While researching careers, I discovered health care management. I choose health care management as my career option for two reasons. I’m looking for a career where I can do what I passionate about and impact lives. These are important factor in my career choice. Health care management met my two requirements and at that point I knew this was the career for me. I firmly believe that any career I pursue should be one that I’m passionate about. One of my passions is helping others. Health care managers help patients just as much as doctors, nurses and other clinical professionals. For me it’s very imperative that I find a career were I would have impact the lives of others. This would ensure that I’m fulfilling one of my purposes in life. I 'm ready to experience the emotional and intellectual rewards my MBA will

I have to admit that I was skeptical in completing the personality profile. I thought, “How could a few questions determine everything about my management style”. When I received my results, I was astonished at how accurately those results portrayed my personality. While deciding which of my personality traits were advantageous and which were detrimental to my management style, I became conflicted as all of my scores can be portrayed as both positive and negative depending on the situation.
